Did you rededicate your Athame after this smelly imprisonment? Why, or why not?

I think I would just to rebalance the energies...

Not that you asked *me* but I would probably not rededicate it after an unconventional use. The experience would, I think, enhance the tool, bring two worlds together even more. Well, I'd rethink that and rededicate only after if it seemed to bring something ick with it tho. I found that very amusing, Grey Cat, but it didn't happen to me!!

I'd only say no to making the cheese sandwhich if it was Grey Cat's athame!

:D

*giggle*

Actually, since mine is a damascus blade and therefore more difficult to physically clean completely, I don't tend to use it for food. On the other hand, it's a very large knife (blade is 14.9 in.) it's more useful for clearing brush and such than the average athame.

What's the point of having a tool if you won't use it when needed? That's like saying you have a shotgun in your home but you won't use it to shoot a burglar or rapist cuz you just use it for duck hunting. I can see how some tools have specific uses; ex. you wouldn't use a spoon to pound a nail into a wall, but knives are incredibly versatile (which is all an athame is when it comes down to it) and sometimes you just have to Macguyver it and improvise!

Also, I am reminded of some really sappy 80's movie where a guy was using a clothing iron to make a grilled cheese sandwich. Don't remember which movie it was tho, theres so many to choose from...!
